This actually isn’t surprising at all, but it still needs to said over & over — the biggest barrier to more urban biking in cities is the fear of cars.

“A study confirms that if we are serious about getting people on bikes, they need a safe place to ride.”

for me and about 25% of non-riders ac to recent survey, it also means safety from breathing vehicles' toxic fumes. So that doesn't automatically make putting a barriered lane beside a busy road a solution. Being anywhere *near* traffic is just a downer.
